Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2507051A] A hinge assembly comprising a toggle type hinge 10 with a linear damping device 13 arranged with its longitudinal axis parallel to the axis of movement of the hinge. First and second actuating devices 19, 30 operate the damping device, preferably independently, acting in opposite directions and at different rates, ranges of movement of the hinge and stages of hinge movement. The two striker plates (20 32 Fig 1) and arm assembly (55 Fig 4) activate the first and second actuating devices in response to movement of the hinge. The damper 13 may be mounted by a cylinder 15 on a guide plate 16, the cylinder 15 is able to rotate about its longitudinal axis A and in an axial direction B. The actuating devices may be wings 19 30 extending out from cylinders 15 31 mounted in a radiused groove 17 on a guide plate 16. Each wing engages with a corresponding striker plate (20 32) via a camming action which causes the cylinder to rotate and the piston rod 14 of the damper to be depressed. The hinge is designed for use on a cupboard to give a controlled shutting of the cupboard door.
